Dragnet Dust

Dragnet Dust is a 2% permethrin, broad-spectrum insecticide dust especially formulated to reach into limited access areas. Containing twice the active ingredient loading of normal dust formulations, Dragnet Dust has an improved super fine formulation giving excellent coverage and spread.

Fury

Fury combines the knockdown power of alpha-cypermethrin with the sustained residual qualities of bifenthrin. This combination provides a powerful effect that is not achieved when using the individual active ingredients alone.

Trials of Fury on cockroaches, ants and spiders have shown that Fury is more efficient, with increased mortality, quicker knock down and better residual control than other leading brands in the market. In outdoor situations some of the major brands, including combination products, are providing reduced comparative residual control.

Bifenthrin is not as soluble as some of the other active ingredients currently used, and is harder to wash off. This helps to explain why Fury provides better residual control than some of these other products. Fury is very competitively priced and is registered for use on 11 general household pests in both external and internal situations.

below. Please contact your local Garrards branch for further information on these products plus assistance in selecting the correct product for your situation.

HomeGuard DPC complies with all requirements of Australian Standards AS2870 as an approved 0.5mm Damp Proof Course, so no additional perimeter cavity needs to be installed.

HomeGuard TMB complies with all requirements of Australian Standard AS2870 so can also double as a 0.2mm high impact moisture barrier.
